Aes Dana was created in 1994 by Taliesin ( guitar) and Amorgen ( tin wistle and flutes) .
Some month later they decided to play with Vidar (vocals) and Storm (drums /also member of Antaeus and Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition). In 1996 Christophe (bass) joined Aes Dana, and a demo: “Chroniques du Crépuscule” was recorded in December. The six tracks of this recording can be described as atmospheric black metal with celtic and medieval parts. The lyrics, written by Vidar, in english described visions, chimera and legends.
The band rehearse in a locale in Saint Ouen, near Paris... A realy small place they share with the black metal band Antaeus and the grind core band Sublim Cadevric Decomposition. The drums of Storm made so much noises in this so small place that Amorgen has to stick her wistle to the microphone and to play very loud to be heard in this big mush of sound. Amorgen invent then a new way of playing tin wistle, a metal way.
Rehaersalls, gigs, demos and beers...
In 1997 a new bassist, Milambre (ex Despond) and a second guitarist, Seth (Antaeus, Sublim cadaveric Decomposition) joined Aes Dana. With this line-up the band began to play new songs in a more brutal way. “The new lyrics, written by Taliesin and Amorgen in french, evokes pagan sagas. The band plays some gigs in Paris (Gibus Rock club, Club dunois,...)
At this time, Aes Dana moved to the New York Studio in te north of Paris to rehearse, a rehearsall most of the time planed on friday, at the end of the day.
After some hours of noise, the musicians finished their night in the only metal pub left at this time in Paris. This howfull troquet were the worst of all metal pub... his name : “Le palais de la bière”... Unfortunatly this troquet where not far from the studio... so were its successor “Le relais magenta”...
In 1999 Storm wants to leave the band. After his last concert at the “Gibus”, the musicians meet Juanjolocaust. He is drummers, he comes for spain, he has appréciated the music. So he propose te replace Storm...
Storm where a brutal black metal drummers, Juanjolocaust plays more subtils parts.
At the end of april 2000, Aes Dana entered studio to record one MCD with 4 tracks
In the same month, Tilion (guitar) replaced Seth, who left Aes Dana to devote himself to his bands of grindcore and brutal black . The band move fore rehearse to Luna Rossa studio, in 13e district of Paris.
Aes Dana decides then to incorporat new traditional instruments to the music. Amorgen wants to mix the sonority of a medieval bombarde to the new tracks. She find the précious woodwind at the folk festival of Saint Chartier. She choice a Catalan hautbois. Powerfull but not too much, ideal instrument for à mix with black metal music.
